Hickory Campus: Due to the University operating under Condition 1, the Office of Access & Opportunity: Disability Resources will operate remotely through February 3, 2026.

The Disability Resources (ODR) unit of Access & Opportunity is the designated office at Appalachian State University for promoting opportunity, access, and civil rights based on a disability. ODR oversees access needs, applicable University resources/supports, and eligibility of appropriate accommodations (adjustments, auxiliary aids/services and reasonable modifications) based on disability for students and visitors. ODR is also responsible for oversight of accessibility of programs, services and activities; disability compliance requirements; and the facilitation of removing existing disability-related barriers within the built environment.
